WHEN a Thai girl was accidentally fell into SMRT track, Thai embassy step in the matter to protect their citizen's right to its fullest. Wonder what she will get if she is Myanmar citizen. Perhaps she would be prosecuted for negligence or intruder. The case prompt the SMRT to install half height screen doors in all surface stations to avoid similar expensive case in future.
WHEN an underage Indonesia maid murdered her employer, Indonesia embassy didn't ignore her by hiring a lawyer to mitigate the case. By Singapore's law, murdering is punishable by death penalty. However due to her age, being minor, together with her embassy's effort, she eventually escape death penalty. She only needs to serve 10 years in prison.
WHEN several bullish cases to Indonesian maid by Malaysian employers surfaced, Indonesia authority block exporting their domestic workers to Malaysia until they get assurance for required protection to their maids by Malaysia authority. It took about couple years to settle. Finally Malaysia government find it hard to replace the void Indonesian maid by other sources and agreed with Indonesia's demand.
WHEN Saudi Arabia court executed Philippine maid for murdering her employer, The Philippine government stop exporting their maids to middle east country to show their protest. The philippine still maintain their moves by finding alternative places for their maids.
What a good preventive measure by their respective government? Even though those maids didn't need to pay income tax, their authority never fail to protect their citizen's right. They know what does government mean toward their national abroad. This kind of action was severely needed by oversea workers.
Unfortunately, our maids and workers are not getting enough couselling service by our embassy. Despite we need to pay 10% of our wages to country, our embassy seems no interest in our tragic matter. Most recent case with regard to the previous post is a good example to highlight the lack of our authority's responsibility to its people. Why does it come to us alone? Why we are not deserving the necessary protection while our counterparts from other countries are enjoying? Only attitude of our government staffs might be reason for difference between us. They don't need to wait until instruction come out from senior management. They don't need to wait until complain come out if they are about to filfill their duties. I am frustrating to know that abused maid is sent to HOME to be taken care she need following discharge from hospital. Where gone our authority to assist her? What for they are here unless they help our citizen's case? Do they here just for collecting income tax? It's really appalling. Unless they take immediate action, our countrymen are supposed to be bullied by their respective employer.
May our authority know the plight of its people abroad while they never failed to collect tax from them. May all fellow citizen get necessary protection by governing law. May all countrymen free from fear/bully at work. Wishing is only one thing I could do for those sufferer at the moment. Open up Myanmar, create jobs, we're desperately want to come back home. You know, nowhere is better than home. It'll never ever change, I tell you.
